Lost jobs evidence of our 'shared sacrifice'

I am taken aback at the attention The Post-Standard has given to the loss of 120 jobs, due to the impact of Obamacare, at Welch Allyn. Didn't President Obama say he is looking for shared sacrifice? The layoffs are obviously just their ''fair share.''

Further, if Welch Allyn had even a modicum of decency, it would keep those people employed to demonstrate its patriotism.

Anyway, I am quite certain that the people who are losing their livelihood will not mind in the least, once they understand what a good cause it is for.

I say to them, ''Just be patient! You will have lots of company in your misery beginning next year.'' That's when all the temporary waivers to Obamacare expire, and the rest of the program takes hold! So rejoice, and vote for Barack Obama!
